Speaking with MTV, Thompson, 37, joked that she plans to give Jordan ‘a lot of crap about’ having recently been named People’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’.
She continued:
He is directing the next Creed. It’s going to be ammo, I think, for me, when he is engaging with me as a director.
I’m just going to tell him to dial down the sexiness. But we’re not gonna make it until later in the year. So who knows what happens? Another man will be – I don’t know if he will still be the Sexiest Man Alive in six months.
Thompson is expected to reprise her role as Donnie’s fiancée Bianca, an aspiring musician and mother to his young daughter, Amara.
This news may come as no surprise to those who’ve been closely following the developments of the upcoming movie.

However, this is the first time confirmation has been given that Jordan will indeed be sat in the director’s chair.
There is currently no estimated release date for Creed 3, with Thompson appearing to hint that production will begin later on in 2021.
